Is this video a spoof?

Because if it is I can't tell.

[InvaderWakkoReborn]

Yes. The Onion is America's finest news source.

Not understanding an obvious joke?

you poor child.

i watch online shows and its becoming a trend that they all have kickstarter campaigns to have a season finale or start a new season. i had no idea where this kickstarter idea came from or the other popular one now...indiegogo??? ne who...i guess it works for somethings and not for others depending on what ur pursuing.

It's no different from the era of the desktop publishing industry. Everyone who had a computer was creating shit.

I'm looking at the ebook industry. Just came across Zach and the Kickstart campaign. There is always gonna be someone, who isn't talented, creating shit.

Let the buyer beware. And oh, hey, you're ON the internet so don't pay til you see the goods.

You've never heard of The Onion?

You poor child.

Let me see. How different is this from Simon and Shuster selling me a book I don't want? OH, I know, they have a HUGE company. They already HAVE debt accrued.

Right. That's makes it okay.

*grin*
